Sixteen stories by well-known authors (Garth Nix, Holly Black, Neil Gaiman, Kelly Link, etc.) provide fairy-tale villains' viewpoints, deepening these traditionally two-dimensional characters and giving them distinct voices. From the giantess who tells of Jack's visit to the woman made of candy who uses the same material on her house, these protagonists show that everyone has a story. Reading list.
